As Duoduo crouched beside the sofa, An Mingji extended his slender, jade-like hand and gently stroked its head with an incredible tenderness.
Duoduo thoroughly enjoyed being petted in this way.
Unfortunately, this tenderness was not meant for it, but lingered as a warm remnant on Duoduo's head.
An Mingji relaxed his body, leaning back comfortably on the sofa. His enchanting peach blossom eyes slowly closed, and his hand continued to stroke Duoduo's head intermittently.
Until the lingering warmth on its head dissipated, did the young man slowly open his eyes, withdraw his hand, and get up to leave.
Duoduo, feeling comforted, was suddenly abandoned and stared at An Mingji in bewilderment.
"Awoo—"
Confirming that the person was leaving, Duoduo howled plaintively at the young man's departing back.
The response to Duoduo was the tightly closed door of the young man's bedroom.
Upon returning to her room, Gu Jin quickly received a call from Yu Shuo.
"Master, are you home yet?"
